Alba Vicario: The Spanish Stylist Turned Jewelry Artisan
From Burgos to Barcelona: A Fashion Journey
Born in the historic city of Burgos, Spain, Alba Vicario carved her path in fashion through Barcelona’s vibrant creative scene. With a career spanning styling and creative direction for brands like Bimba y Lola, Missoni, and Armani Jeans, as well as editorial work for Vogue Spain and Schön Magazine, Alba has become a sought-after visionary in the industry.
But it was the 2020 lockdown that pushed her to launch Atsixam—a handcrafted metal jewelry and decor brand born from introspection and a desire to create tangible beauty in uncertain times.
Inspirations: Vintage Soul, Modern Edge
Muses: "Flea markets, family photo albums, and forgotten antiques—I find magic in the imperfect."
Design Ethos: Her jewelry blends raw, metallic textures with a nostalgic yet contemporary sensibility.
The Creative Process: Fluid and Personal
No Fixed Formula: "Ideas come from everywhere—a brainstorm, a personal project, or a spontaneous pitch to a magazine."
Lifestyle as Work: "Creativity never ‘starts’ or ‘stops.’ It’s a constant flow shaped by what you absorb daily."
On Atsixam’s Birth:
"The pandemic forced me to ask: What do I truly want to make? Jewelry became my answer—a way to merge craft with emotion."
2020’s Silver Lining: A Industry Reset
Positive Shifts: "Independent brands are leading with sustainability, zero-waste, and pre-order models. Finally!"
Personal Pivot: "Lockdown gave me courage to launch Atsixam. Now, I’m obsessed with every hammered curve."

"Feedback fuels me—I’d love to hear what resonates with you."
Why Alba Vicario Stands Out
Stylist’s Eye: Her jewelry carries a fashion editor’s precision—each piece completes a narrative.
Handmade Honesty: Rejecting mass production for artisanal intimacy.
Adaptability: Proof that crisis can birth creativity.
Perfect For:
The minimalist with a vintage soul.
Fans of Lemaire’s quiet luxury or Wald Berlin’s raw metals.
Anyone who believes jewelry should tell a story.
(P.S. Ask her about the first piece she ever hammered—it’s a humble masterpiece.)
